Richmond Park is a vast oasis of green, just eight miles from the center of London, and is an ecological pearl in the midst of sprawling urbanization. It is most famous for its herd of 630 Fallow and Red Deer, which is Europe's largest park and is as big as the seven other royal parks combined. Since King Charles I enclosed the park in 1637, it has provided a haven of tranquility and diversion for all its visitors. Today, some 77 million people pass through its gates each year.

In this beautiful book, Alex Saberi captures Richmond Park's unique blend of rare and diverse wildlife, plant life, and rolling landscapes. From a crow perched on a bench in the morning haze to a foolish Labrador, breaking impatiently away from its owner, the photographs capture its inherent beauty as well as those rare moments of wildlife action and majesty that only yield themselves to the most patient and knowledgeable of observers.
